I consulted a hair salon and they never even mentioned a high lift color. They wanted to just bleach my black hair. I have quite a bit of color experience (though I'm also not a professional) and it was definitely my gut to go with the color remover and high lift before the bleach. Watching this video made me feel a lot more confident about trusting myself on this one. Thanks so much for talking about this! Your hair looks great.
The absolute most helpful black to blonde video I've seen...and I've seen ALOT over the last year!!! Why couldn't I see this a month ago -__- ...u just got yourself a new subscriber
Lol I keep having nightmares where I go to a salon to get my roots touched up, and they accidentally dye my hair black again somehow and I start screaming and crying. I guess my subconscious really wants me to keep this color for a while.
Omg, I also had black dyed hair and it took me sooooo long to go from that to white hair. I have nightmares that for some reason my hair is black again and I start crying because I had so much work on going white xD
My hairdresser dyed my hair black and I choice golden brown on the chart I'm living a real nightmare 😢 my college graduation is in a few weeks too I'm desperate to get it out
omg I had light hair then I dyed it black recently & I've had a dream so far almost every night since, that I dyed it back to light hair & I was so happy.
I have watched a few of these on utube and must say yours is the best I have seen. It is so clear and concise and I love how you explain all the products needed at the beginning. and your hair is beautiful .
I trust actually you because coloring hair in different times bit a little bit each makes the hair brighter, I didn't try it before but the way you are explaining makes everything easier to understand
Hey Samantha, thanks for this sharing your knowledge with us. I have tried your method to colour my hair to light brown ( from originally darkest brown hair) almost 2 years ago. And my hair are still healthy ( touch wood). After enjoying this beautiful brown shade now I believe I am gonna try blonde. Hope it goes right as well. Thanks sweetheart you are beauty with brains. 😙
This video was SOOO helpful! I am headed to Sally's right now. I have wanted to go blonde for a long time, but every time I try I always just use bleach, but you are right it is so much smarter to use the hi lift color and have natural hair colors during the in between stages. Thanks :)
Meghan Wain that’s what I just did! I just got back from Sally’s lol I’m doing this all in like 24 hours though 😬😬 because I have work tomorrow which probably isn’t the best idea, but I can’t wait lil
I wish I would’ve seen your video sooner. I recently went blonde and had to bleach it, I got little to no damage but I would definitely done this way better. I have really curly hair and I want to keep my curls. This video is very helpful thank you!
i may have to tweak this method a little, I want to go from multiple dyes and currently purplish pink hair to a light brown darkish blonde color, this is the first video that's actually given pretty good tips!
Thank you for posting this video! I'm thinking about going from blue black to a deep warm brown for the summer, since I have a tan. I had bought some of the Hi Color Hi Lites in Honey Blonde and then saw a ton of videos on YT that swore up and down those will not lift any color, and will not color at all. That it only works lightening up virgin black hair. It was so discouraging, but I love the color your hair was after the first treatment. Close to what I'm going for. I just want to get this black lightened up, so this video made me feel a lot better.
I just did step 1 last night. I used ColorFix from Sally's and i cannot believe how many shades lighter my hair went. I'm at about the stage your hair got from the second round of the HiColor. Completely suprising to me as i've been dying my hair black for about 5 years. However, I am a natural blonde so perhaps thats why it lightened up so much. Excited to throw on the HiColor tonight. Somewhat scared at keeping it away from my roots but hopefully it turns out alright! SUCH an awesome tutorial thanks so much!
Thank you sooooo much!! I did exactly the steps and waited a week in between and it came out exactly how i wanted it! I was scared to bleach but then i was like "just do it" and i did. Thanks for the upload, you're awesomee!!
I've seriously been trying to find a video that was helpful. And I found it. So thanks. I've been thinking about going blonde for forever. And kind of wanted to research it. This is the only video I've found to be super helpful.
If I am just trying to go from dyed black hair to a dark/medium brown do you think I'd have to use the color remover? I'm trying to have the least amount of damage as I can. I've tried color remover in the past but it damaged my hair a lot and didn't even work, so just curious if I could skip the color remover and get the same results ! This hair color also looks great on you!!
Okay! I've always tried to do this on my own but I always ended up with brassy/orange. (Sally's employees always encouraged just straight bleach on the hair) which ended up frying it! I AM GOING TO TRY THIS :D I hope to get my natural dirty blonde back.
I love the colour you have on this video. I've gone basically black and want to go back without having hair like straw - I've got layers and layers of different colours to remove. I am building myself to stripping out the dye but really worried that it will go wrong. Hair salons are currently out of the equation because I'd need to pay for childcare and for all the necessary hair treatment processes - that isn't cheap. I found your video really informative. Thank you.
So, I basically ordered everything from Amazon that you mentioned in the video and was so excited to start the process. Yesterday I applied the color remover and I was so confused as to why my hair was still black… (blonde moment without being blonde yet). I had forgotten that the first time I died my hair with a dark brown hair dye (about a year ago) - was a semi permanent… so the color remover did what it was supposed to, but that first layer of hair dye didn't come off. I thought that i'd just go ahead and use the first box of high lift color to maybe lighten it to brown (I avoided my roots because I like dark roots also, my natural color is light brown) and some parts of my hair (luckily parts that I can hide with my hair down lol) turned blonde!! Imagine if I would've put it on my roots, omg. So I just ordered the color oops and that one box of high lift color that I wasted, and HOPEFULLY it'll work this time. By the way, the my hd color remover smells like shit. (:
your video helped me so much on lightning my hair. last yr I tried to go blond I had no idea how. I messed up my hair sooooo bad. n have been cutting all that dead hair since. since my hair was all virgin hair again I decided to try to any least lighten my hair to light brown. and your video helped me decide on the highcolor highlight to lighten it. it is true this option did not feel damaging at all. and now I will try to follow the other 2 steps to lighten my hair even more. thank you! :D
I dyed mine black and it had to have been the worst decision ever! I'm going to follow your steps minus the bleaching. Is there any specific product you would recommend for the hair to recover?
Sooo helpful!!! I asked a salon to dye my hair medium brown but then they ended up screwing everything up (even the cut, so choppy looking). It's now black. I'm not happy at all!! I spent $160 at a salon just to look like I went out and bought some cheap box dye. Never again will I go to that salon!
This is a nice video, although I don't completely agree that it is less damaging. It's less damaging to use Vol 20 developer with a professional high quality bleach + Olaplex. That would safely give 7 - 8 levels of lift. Applied only once and toned with a demi-permanent would be quite gentle on hair.
I'm doing this in the new year. My only issue is I'm grey and brown under all this black dye . But I've watched so many tutorials and this one seems the safest option
Maria Hernandez Hmm.. I'm not sure what a professional would suggest. But if it were me.. I would wash it a few times in hot water with a clarifying shampoo, and really scrub it to wash out the color as much as possible. You could also use a color remover in addition to that if you want to. Then I would use the highlift color and an ashy toner. Hopefully that will cancel the red out. You may still be left with a strawberry blonde, but from there you can just keep toning it or coloring it and using purple shampoo. Good luck!
I just did the same thing I've had blonde which took fovea er to get then I for mad at the roots died it black hate it and now I'm going to see if my stylets can get it back to platinum again. Happy you got urs back you look fab with it ! Hope I can get mine back there too
I love the blonde and the light brown colors before the final blonde result. I also love the kitty sleeping in the background... it's so cute. thank you, the video was very helpful :D
Im in love with the final look, gonna try step 1 and 2 to get brown color, do you recommend the MYHD product? I have been seen it for a while and it sound too good to be true!
girl this is so helpful! my mom wants to go blonde/golden blonde and shes ok with taking her time with it, since i'm doing her hair i'll try these out.
Question: What hair color you use. Your instructions doesn't say it. It says, "Blonde hair color or toner of choice" Would you mind sharing which color you are using on the video?
Those are great tips, less damage, great color, not patchy and you keep your hair on your head. Blond suits you very well, and I looooooved to see the kitty sleeping through the whole video hahaha
I know this video is old.. But my question is did you apply hair color remover to your roots in the first step ? Thank you for this video very helpful.
This video is the reason why I was able to go blonde in keep my hair incredibly healthy. However, I couldn’t afford the vilify by L’Oréal because I was fifteen, but I did use Revlon’s lightest ash blonde and it worked just as well.
I just needed to find out how to get the layers of dye I have out so I can try a nice shade of red. This was a bunch of help tho. My hair is currently dyed black at the ends and dark brown at the roots. Thanks a bunch
After videos upon videos... I finally found one that’s helpful, I’m in the exact same situation with my hair being dyed black and want the safest- healthiest way to go lighter. Thanks so much girl ! ❤️ (I was really trying to avoid that awkward orange/yellow stage) on the way to Sally’s right now...
I wish i had you here. Im trying to go blond. My hair is dyed black, i tried the color remover and then the hilift and only my roots webt caramel and the rest of my hair is black. Im kind of scared on what step to take next! But by the way the color really suits you!!!
Karen Martinez Thanks. Try a "bleach bath" or "bleach wash" on the parts that are still black. Just Google how to do it, and then use a good deep conditioner afterwards. That should help.
This is the best going black to blond video I have seen. One question is, what color was your hair after the color remover before you did the loreal hi lift color? At what color do you know you don't need to do the color remover again before using the hi lift color? You are BEAUTIFUL:) Thank You SO much for such an informative video:)
browneyedgirl1100 Thank you! Check the description for the link to the video of Step 1. You'll see exactly what it looked like before and after the color remover. If you want to do the color remover twice, you definitely can. But I think as long as you do it once, you'll be ok.
Thank you soooo much honestly, i had blonde hair but I dye it black and hate it, I really didn't wanna damage my hair again. I just got it to be ""manageable"" hopefully this help me achieve my blonde hair again
Hey girl! Loving the hair. I have dark brown (basically) virgin hair and I just dyed it a lighter brown with ammonia free blonde dye. Do you suggest I still start at step 1 with the color remover? Or can I just go with the 2 rounds of hicolor highlights?
Best video on this subject I have seen! (& I've seen a lot!) :) I can't wait to try it! I dyed my hair today actually, (it's light brown) but I look forward to trying your method in a month or so! Thanks so much for all the info & great video!!
Did you do anything different to your roots? How did you get them that color compared to the rest of your hair? The gradient is perfect it looks natural!
Amanda Low Thanks. I just didn't apply any bleach directly to my roots. Instead, I gradually blended the bleach onto the midshaft and ends. But when I applied the color, I put it all over, which tinted my roots a light golden brown.
hii, I dyed my hair wiht a volume 30 and l'orlea hi color sandstone blonde. My question is: how long should I wait until I can use lightning powder. I want to have a lighter tone ! you hair looks fabulous by the way!
Ok so this video pretty much convinced me that I could finally go a medium blonde without being scared ! I have dark hair with burgundy red highlights, I touch up my highlights by getting a ion hair color and 20 developer and putting all over half of my head with highlights. Now I want to go lighter and saw this and now I'm wondering if I can do same process as you and gradually.
Yesss this video is super useful! I have dyed black hair and grown out roots that are like 4 inches long ahaha. I want to go golden blonde. Totally going to be following your tips!
your hair looks fantastic! i'm thinking of giving it a go myself, i no your not a hairdresser but i wanted to ask for some advice i have some highlights underneath my black hair dye about 5 years old! if i used the ash blonde will i go green?
Great video! If I wanted to go a lighter shade of blonde, almost platinum, what would I do? Would I use a different hair dye or toner for the last step, or maybe do another bleach process?
Are you suppose to put the toner/hair color RIGHT after you use the lightening powder? Meaning while your hair is still wet from washing out the lightener? Or should you blow dry and then apply the toner/hair color? Also should you apply the lightener to the bottom of your hair first and then your roots? Thanks!
How much 30 volume do you mix with the hi lighter? Sorry I'm trying to go blond but no nothing about what I need to mix lol. Thanks for your help! Love you hair! Oh and what color blond dye did you use at the end?
The directions for the L'oreal hicolor hilights is actually printed inside the box, so you have to take it apart to see them. But you're supposed to mix a 1:2 ratio - so twice the amount of developer as color. And the color that I used is called "lightest golden blonde" by Ion. I just added the link to the exact color in the description of the video to make it easier!
+Samantha Vay some barber shops know nothing about hair dye the last barber shop just used the blue dye not loreal brand ,and it burned my hair like total oxydation,I try to go for advice in a women's hair salon,he refused to fix it so I had to cut it littarly too short until it grew back It was a nightmare I'm the type of guy who loves long length hair! as my hair is very dark brown.
Your Hair looks great Hun and you did amazing doing that yourself, the colour is gorgeous and you really suit blonde, I'm in the middle of going from bright copper to blonde and I'm finding it hard but I'm getting there just xx
Exactly what I was looking for! I am more than willing to wait in between sessions to save my hair. This is perfect and very affordable thanks! How did your hair feel after you achieved the blonde?
hello there :) I know this video is 2 years old but it really caught my attention, I really like what you did and how you did it, it turned out great, i would of never thought of this and it's an amazing smart idea. I was just wondering exactly what purple shampoo & blue conditioner were you applying to your hair and from what store?
Thank you soooo much! I'm trying to get my hair lighter for my vacation in May so I'm going to start now... Did you get everything @ Sally's Beauty Supply?
Hey I have a question...do you still need to buy a color remover if your hair is natural/Virgin. My hair color is dark brown and I've never dyed it before so can I just skip the color remover process? Please answer I want to go blonde pretty soon and btw this video was so helpful THANK YOU!
I have ombré hair. I wanted to go red but it's a lot of work and I honestly don't have the money to keep retouching it. So I was considering going a blondish color. My only problem is that how can I get it one color if I have ombré hair ? Any suggestions? Please !? Thanks !!!
your hair looks gorgeous! i was just wondering about how much it damaged your hair doing this process and how you stopped it from getting damaged, in the video it looks very healthy :)
It is very healthy! It didn't get very damaged because I did the entire process over a span of 3 months. Giving my hair that rest in between each step allowed it to kind of repair itself. Plus I also trimmed my ends in between. Also, the bleach is really the most damaging part of the entire process, but since I slowly lightened my hair with the hilift color first, the bleach only had to be on my hair for less than 20 minutes, so it didn't really do too much damage. So if you're trying to do this to your hair and you want your hair to stay as healthy as possible, I really suggest doing it over a longer period of time.
I consulted a hair salon and they never even mentioned a high lift color. They wanted to just bleach my black hair. I have quite a bit of color experience (though I'm also not a professional) and it was definitely my gut to go with the color remover and high lift before the bleach. Watching this video made me feel a lot more confident about trusting myself on this one. Thanks so much for talking about this! Your hair looks great.

I agree

Lol I keep having nightmares where I go to a salon to get my roots touched up, and they accidentally dye my hair black again somehow and I start screaming and crying. I guess my subconscious really wants me to keep this color for a while.
I have the same nightmare!!
It's really beautiful and your hair looks very healthy.
Omg, I also had black dyed hair and it took me sooooo long to go from that to white hair. I have nightmares that for some reason my hair is black again and I start crying because I had so much work on going white xD
My hairdresser dyed my hair black and I choice golden brown on the chart I'm living a real nightmare 😢 my college graduation is in a few weeks too I'm desperate to get it out
omg I had light hair then I dyed it black recently & I've had a dream so far almost every night since, that I dyed it back to light hair & I was so happy.
You look like a natural blonde. I can't believe how natural it looks x
You look so much better as a blonde.
Diana Hell yeah
I think she’s always pretty :)
The way you broke the base of your hair color with hilift was a pretty smart move
~a person finishing up cosmetology school(OMG FINALLY)
If I do that within a week will I loose my hair??
Are you enjoying doing hair? Since I'm reading four year old comments....lol
I think that's the best way to do it, so you don't do to much damage to your hair
I have watched a few of these on utube and must say yours is the best I have seen. It is so clear and concise and I love how you explain all the products needed at the beginning. and your hair is beautiful .
I actually like the chestnut brown on you. You look kind of pale although it is pretty on you
I trust actually you because coloring hair in different times bit a little bit each makes the hair brighter, I didn't try it before but the way you are explaining makes everything easier to understand

Did it work for you guys ?
My favorite blonde tutorial on TH-cam by far. I love the final color. Thank you!!
Sam looks so gorgeous with light or dark hair. I think dark is my favorite but it’s super hard to choose. Idk I love both so much ❤️
I wish I would’ve seen your video sooner. I recently went blonde and had to bleach it, I got little to no damage but I would definitely done this way better. I have really curly hair and I want to keep my curls. This video is very helpful thank you!

I totally love the light brown almost blonde color on you!!! It gave your face some very beautiful tones.
Your hair looks beautiful and in such lovely condition and a lovely colour.

The color looks great, it suits your complexion & eye color. Good job!
I know you're not a stylist but I think you did a great job on your hair! What do u suggest for reddish copper hair to blonde... Same process??
Maria Hernandez Hmm.. I'm not sure what a professional would suggest. But if it were me..

I love the blonde and the light brown colors before the final blonde result. I also love the kitty sleeping in the background... it's so cute.
thank you, the video was very helpful :D
Im in love with the final look, gonna try step 1 and 2 to get brown color, do you recommend the MYHD product? I have been seen it for a while and it sound too good to be true!
girl this is so helpful! my mom wants to go blonde/golden blonde and shes ok with taking her time with it, since i'm doing her hair i'll try these out.
You are a Godsend finally a simple steps video for bleaching hair!
Omg girl you were so right I'm so happy you gave me such confidence in doing my own hair!! I like my hair color thank you
Question: What hair color you use. Your instructions doesn't say it. It says, "Blonde hair color or toner of choice" Would you mind sharing which color you are using on the video?
Those are great tips, less damage, great color, not patchy and you keep your hair on your head. Blond suits you very well, and I looooooved to see the kitty sleeping through the whole video hahaha
How light was your hair after the bleach? I'm at that step now, after bleach, just rinsed my hair.
Thanks!
Shannon Spainhower Probably about a level 8 or so.
Great video! Your hair looks great! I want some light blonde highlights..will plan to try this soon! Thanks for sharing!
I know this video is old.. But my question is did you apply hair color remover to your roots in the first step ? Thank you for this video very helpful.
Gurl I just discovered ur video and your haircolor looks GREAT!!! Don't ever go dark black again...its a beach to get out!!!awesome video;)

I've been dying my hair black for ever and I do have multiple layers of color I'm going to try this to see if it works so I don't damage my hair
What color remover did you use? I liked how it worked on your hair.
If you don't have colour in your hair do you have to do the colour remover? 🎀
Thank you soooo much honestly, i had blonde hair but I dye it black and hate it, I really didn't wanna damage my hair again. I just got it to be ""manageable"" hopefully this help me achieve my blonde hair again
Hey girl! Loving the hair. I have dark brown (basically) virgin hair and I just dyed it a lighter brown with ammonia free blonde dye. Do you suggest I still start at step 1 with the color remover? Or can I just go with the 2 rounds of hicolor highlights?
Best video on this subject I have seen! (& I've seen a lot!) :) I can't wait to try it! I dyed my hair today actually, (it's light brown) but I look forward to trying your method in a month or so! Thanks so much for all the info & great video!!
Your hair is so pretty ,i was wondering how many packages of bleach u used since your hair is not to long ?
Did you do anything different to your roots? How did you get them that color compared to the rest of your hair?
The gradient is perfect it looks natural!
Amanda Low Thanks. I just didn't apply any bleach directly to my roots. Instead, I gradually blended the bleach onto the midshaft and ends. But when I applied the color, I put it all over, which tinted my roots a light golden brown.
hii, I dyed my hair wiht a volume 30 and l'orlea hi color sandstone blonde. My question is: how long should I wait until I can use lightning powder. I want to have a lighter tone ! you hair looks fabulous by the way!
I love these old videos Sam ❤️
Ok so this video pretty much convinced me that I could finally go a medium blonde without being scared ! I have dark hair with burgundy red highlights, I touch up my highlights by getting a ion hair color and 20 developer and putting all over half of my head with highlights. Now I want to go lighter and saw this and now I'm wondering if I can do same process as you and gradually.
Yesss this video is super useful! I have dyed black hair and grown out roots that are like 4 inches long ahaha. I want to go golden blonde. Totally going to be following your tips!
When you applied the highlighting kit did you just put the product on all of your hair? I was confused about that part.
your hair looks fantastic! i'm thinking of giving it a go myself, i no your not a hairdresser but i wanted to ask for some advice i have some highlights underneath my black hair dye about 5 years old! if i used the ash blonde will i go green?
that medium brown looked georgous on u!!!
Awesome video. My hair is dyed black. Under all these years and multiple dyes....its white/grey/silver. Will I get the same results?
you literally look good in anything
Great video! If I wanted to go a lighter shade of blonde, almost platinum, what would I do? Would I use a different hair dye or toner for the last step, or maybe do another bleach process?
Are you suppose to put the toner/hair color RIGHT after you use the lightening powder? Meaning while your hair is still wet from washing out the lightener? Or should you blow dry and then apply the toner/hair color? Also should you apply the lightener to the bottom of your hair first and then your roots? Thanks!
how did you get your roots to that color?! Im going to do this to my hair and would like to know!!
Thanks!! :)
IM LOVING THE HAIR!!! CANT WAIT! :D
How much 30 volume do you mix with the hi lighter? Sorry I'm trying to go blond but no nothing about what I need to mix lol. Thanks for your help! Love you hair! Oh and what color blond dye did you use at the end?
The directions for the L'oreal hicolor hilights is actually printed inside the box, so you have to take it apart to see them. But you're supposed to mix a 1:2 ratio - so twice the amount of developer as color. And the color that I used is called "lightest golden blonde" by Ion. I just added the link to the exact color in the description of the video to make it easier!
I like it and you did a great job! For me I do want the roots darker. What color do you suggest? A 4 or 5? Thanks :)
this is literally the color I want so hopefully thus works for men
Drew .Hill Lol hair is hair... Your sex doesn't matter.
+Samantha Vay some barber shops know nothing about hair dye the last barber shop just used the blue dye not loreal brand ,and it burned my hair like total oxydation,I try to go for advice in a women's hair salon,he refused to fix it so I had to cut it littarly too short until it grew back It was a nightmare I'm the type of guy who loves long length hair! as my hair is very dark brown.
Your Hair looks great Hun and you did amazing doing that yourself, the colour is gorgeous and you really suit blonde, I'm in the middle of going from bright copper to blonde and I'm finding it hard but I'm getting there just xx
Love your video! How long do I wait between step 2, the hi color, and step 3, the bleach?
Exactly what I was looking for! I am more than willing to wait in between sessions to save my hair. This is perfect and very affordable thanks! How did your hair feel after you achieved the blonde?
hello there :)
I know this video is 2 years old but it really caught my attention, I really like what you did and how you did it, it turned out great, i would of never thought of this and it's an amazing smart idea. I was just wondering exactly what purple shampoo & blue conditioner were you applying to your hair and from what store?
Thank you soooo much! I'm trying to get my hair lighter for my vacation in May so I'm going to start now... Did you get everything @ Sally's Beauty Supply?
Hey I have a question...do you still need to buy a color remover if your hair is natural/Virgin. My hair color is dark brown and I've never dyed it before so can I just skip the color remover process? Please answer I want to go blonde pretty soon and btw this video was so helpful THANK YOU!
no you don't need a color remover for virgin hair😊
The blond suits you the best!!
Your blond hair is gorge!!!
Thank you :)
You look so nice with blonde hair, not many people can pull of blonde hair. Must say you look way better with blonde hair (:
Omg, I want ur hair, it's so gorgeous! I have dark reddish brown hair, and I'm trying to go golden blonde like urs!
I have ombré hair. I wanted to go red but it's a lot of work and I honestly don't have the money to keep retouching it. So I was considering going a blondish color. My only problem is that how can I get it one color if I have ombré hair ? Any suggestions? Please !? Thanks !!!
Were you able to keep this color for a long period or would the damage be too much to keep?
your hair looks gorgeous! i was just wondering about how much it damaged your hair doing this process and how you stopped it from getting damaged, in the video it looks very healthy :)
It is very healthy! It didn't get very damaged because I did the entire process over a span of 3 months. Giving my hair that rest in between each step allowed it to kind of repair itself. Plus I also trimmed my ends in between. Also, the bleach is really the most damaging part of the entire process, but since I slowly lightened my hair with the hilift color first, the bleach only had to be on my hair for less than 20 minutes, so it didn't really do too much damage. So if you're trying to do this to your hair and you want your hair to stay as healthy as possible, I really suggest doing it over a longer period of time.
Did you ever use the bleach? I don’t know if I missed it…
